“The idea got put on the back burner for a while but a few months back I decided now is the time to do it, and I can’t wait for it to come around.”

The night will raise money for Temwa, a Bristol-based charity which supports people in remote, rural areas of northern Malawi.

The event will take place at Exchange

And for ticket holders who get sick of hearing the original of the song in Exchange’s main room on the night, the adjoining café area will be playing remixes and covers of it - so there is something for everyone.

“Africa is an incredible song but to be honest I think it’s going to drive me insane hearing it for that amount of time,” added Michael.

“It’s okay for ticket holders as they can dip in and out but me and the bar staff are going to be stuck with it. I doubt we’ll ever want to hear it again after the night is over, and I'd therefore like to apologise to all staff working that night."

Michael added that he's thinking of extending the length of the event in a bid to secure a new Guinness World Record and make history.
